An Important Decision:

The Globe Silver belt states that the case of John Kennedy vs. J. w. Horrell has been recently disposed of by Judge Porter, who rendered judgment on demurrer in favor of Horrell.
 This case was of some interest to stockmen as 1t involved the right of one cattleman to drive his stock upon the range of an- other without the latter's consent. MT. Horrell, in June last, drove band of cattle upon the range of Mir. Kennedy against his wishes, and he brought suit to obtain an injunction to restrain Horrell from placing upon the range claimed by Kennedy any greater number of cattle, basing his suit on the ground that, although he did not own the land, (the title being in the government) still, that he had claimed 8 certain area of the same for number of years as a cattle range, and that the grass and water supply thereon was only sufficient for his own purposes, and if MT. Horrell was permitted to drive cattle upon the range it would be detrimental to his interests.
 The Court at the hearing said that the suit could not be main tained as the government owned the land, and that Kennedy him. self was a trespasser, and that had as much right as Kennedy to go upon the land with his herds.

THE GREAT STRIKE.
Immense Excitement Prevailing

Immense Excitement Prevailing
 Over the Find Near Prescott.
 The excitement continues in re- gard to the recent great strike of Messrs. Harlan S Darlington, in their Howard" gold mine, on the Hassayampa, ten miles south of Prescott. Within the last few days the visitors to the mine have been numerous. Yesterday, l.. H. Wilson, traffic manager of the Prescott & Arizona Central rail- way, and Ed Lowe went cut to the mine, and report that the facts have not been exaggerated, and that the half has not been told. The owners of the mine have taken out over S1OO,OOO in the past week, and it is nothing unusual for them to pan out $500 in pure gold in two hours, in a commea g. inch mortar. The product of th6 mine Tn gold, exceeds the widest dreams of the most sanguine cid Hassayamper. Mir. Lowe tele- graphs the following account of his visit to the officials of ths Santa Fe railroad:
 It is reported that the ore when crushed still hangs together with the gold deposits it contains, and pieces of gold the size of a twenty dollar piece, are to be seen stick ing all over the quartz. Frepara= tions are being made to sink deeper on the vein, and this mine bids fair to develop into one of the richest mines in the world.
 The rumors concerning the strike being of such a fabulous nature, by parties visiting the claim, a meeting was called this afternoon and a committee ap- pointed to visit the place and re- port d meeting to be held oti Wednesday morning. The fol- lowing committe was appointed: Governor Zulick, Secretary Bay- ard, l.. Bashford, R. H. Burmister, W. N. Kelly, H. A. Bigelow. l.. H. Wilson, W. D. Hazeldine, Geo. s. Porter, J. H. Marion and J. c. Martin. n.-Journal Miner.

The California Craze.

The letters of Charles Nordhof, the well-known correspondent to the New York Herald, written last month from Southern California and descriptive of the boom, have attracted much attention through out the country, and caused some excitement in the Golden State. The opinions of Nordhoff, who is a remarkably shrewd observer, will have much weight with peo- pie, especially as he was sent to the land of the boom for the pur- pose of examining the situation. The following short extracts from one of his letters will be read with interest:
 'If the great real estate boom which has been raging here for two or three years could hold out another year all the land between Santa Monica and San Bernar- dino, and between Los Angeles and San Diego, would be cut-up town lots, and sold to a raging crowd at ten per cent cash and balance in six months and a year. If it could last five years more the whole state of California would be laid out in town sites and sold; for it is a curious fact if you should lay out a town on an inac- cessible mountain here just now, you would find thousand men ready to buy lots, even before the surveyors plans are ready"
 "When the "boom" collapses and the bottom falls out of the hundreds of towns laid out, when thousands lose money, as they presently must, and when town sites are again sold as agricultural land, and at reasonable prices, there will still be value, and great value, in farming lands of Califor- mia. The rich soil, the varied climate, the capacity of the state to produce what no other state or no other country in the world can produce in the same case, certainly all this will remain, but at reason able prices. It is only fair to say this, for the speculation is so wild and senseless that the reaction is likely to be also extravagant.

XII En- AT a DANCE

MARSHALL, ILL.,, Dec. 1S.-Last Thursday
a family by the name of Garcner moved to
this city from Terre Haute, occupying a
house in the southeast part of the city.
Last evening they celebrated their coming
by holding a dance Frank and George
Atwood, sons of an old resident of the city,
were among the visitors. George became
involved in fuss with Lyman Handley, a
young tough present, and his brother
Frank, boy of Is. took up the quarrel.
James Morgan attempted to pacify the
brawlers and just as Atwood picked up Il
heavy stone to throw at Handley, he step
ped between them. Atwood threw the
stone with fearful force at Handley, and
Morgan was hit on the left temple. He
fell like a log, but was assisted to rise, and
was finally able to walk home, Atwood, in
the meantime, having fed. This was
about II O'Clock. Morgan went home, but
short time after reaching the house, be-
gan to bleed internally, and at 4:15 this
morning died. 1t was found that a blood
vessel had burst the blood Strangling
him. He was a large, strong man, aged
about % and was regarded as rather
nice young fellow.
Frank Atwood, the murderer, was cap

flee, and lodged in jail He is a mere boy,
and generally very peaceful and quiet. He
has quite local reputation as base ball
catcher and can throw with wonderful
force and accuracy. He was excited by
drink when he committed the crime. The
coroner's jury decided that Morgan came
TO his death from a blow from a stone
thrown by Frank Atwood. The boy muir

THE CROWN PRINCES CONDITION.

SAN RENO. Dec. 19.-The first eXamina-
ton of the crown prince by II. Mackenzie
and his colleagues and first cons ultation
took place last night. They were followed
by several successive examinations and
subsequent consultations today between
Sir NJ Mackenzie, Mark HouelI, Doctors
Krause and Schrader, which have resulted
in confirmation of the opinion telegraphed
last night. The new growth which sud
denly appeared a few days ago Oh
the left ventricular band above the
vocal chord in the larynx has de-
veloped very little since its first appear
ance, and is not larger than a split
pea. 1t is not accompanied by dangerous
or alarming symptoms. This new growth
will not be extracted by Sir MOrell, it be-
ing too small, and also because OF the risk
of setting up irritation or. IN other words,
of bringing on oedema again.
Sir M0rell has been summoned by pa
tient in Algiers, and will leave san Reno
by the half-past ten train tomorrow night
for Marseilles on his way to Algiers,
where he will remain a couple of days. On
returning to Marseilles he will make a de-
tour to San Reno before returning to
London. Today'S fine weather has
enabled the Prince to take his
usual walking exercise, of which he has
been deprived during the last two days by
the doctors orders. This morning he
went out for two hours walk in company
with the crown princess and DIR. Macken-
zie, looking to all appearances exceedingly
well and in the best of spirits
Ire duke of Edinburgh arrived here to-
day. In the course of Il conversation with
the duke, DR.. Mackenzie again stated that
he was faverably impressed by the prince 5

OF cancer was more doubtful than or the
occasion of his last visit, and, in fact, had
never been proved.
